The abundance of piRNA clusters is reduced in triploid gonads compared to diploid gonads, particularly in sterile gonads, with a significant decrease in piRNA numbers. A specific piRNA cluster is annotated with the <i>PPP4R1</i> gene, which is downregulated in infertile female triploids and exhibits a negative correlation with three piRNAs within the cluster. Differential expression analysis identified 46 and 88 piRNAs in female and male comparison groups, respectively. In female sterile triploids, the expression of three target genes of differentially expressed piRNAs associated with cell division showed downregulation, suggesting the potential roles of piRNAs in the regulation of cell division-related genes, contributing to the gonad arrest observed in female triploid oysters. In male triploid oysters, piRNAs potentially interact with the target genes associated with spermatogenesis, including <i>TSSK4</i>, <i>SPAG17</i>, and <i>CCDC81</i>.

Duplication of the pathway in teleost fish has enabled diversification of gene function across the pathway but how gene duplication influences the function of activin signaling in non-mammalian species is poorly understood. Full characterization of activin receptor signaling pathway expression was performed across embryonic development and during early skeletal muscle growth in rainbow trout (RBT, <i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i>). Rainbow trout are a model salmonid species that have undergone two additional rounds of whole genome duplication. A small number of genes were expressed early in development and most genes increased expression throughout development. There was limited expression of activin Ab in RBT embryos despite these genes exhibiting significantly elevated expression in post-hatch skeletal muscle. CRISPR editing of the activin Aa1 ohnolog and subsequent production of meiotic gynogenetic offspring revealed that biallelic disruption of activin Aa1 did not result in developmental defects, as occurs with knockout of activin A in mammals. The majority of gynogenetic offspring exhibited homozygous activin Aa1 genotypes (wild type, in-frame, or frameshift) derived from the mosaic founder female. The research identifies mechanisms of specialization among the duplicated activin ohnologs across embryonic development and during periods of high muscle growth in larval and juvenile fish. The knowledge gained provides insights into potential viable gene-targeting approaches for engineering the activin receptor signaling pathway and establishes the feasibility of employing meiotic gynogenesis as a tool for producing homozygous F1 genome-edited fish for species with long-generation times, such as salmonids.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":690,"journal":{"name":"Marine Biotechnology","volume":"26 4","pages":"766 - 775"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141756478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
